Wallace has gained national attention for leading the effort to get NASCAR to ban the confederate flag from its events. Last month, an FBI investigation was launched after a noose was discovered in his garage at Talladega Superspeedway, though it was determined a hate crime had not taken place. President Donald Trump on Monday took aim at Wallace, though NASCAR stood behind the Richard Petty Motorsports driver.
The All-Star Race will take place next Wednesday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
